Atomic coordinates and bond lengths and angles are given in Tables 1 and 2 The deviation of the ring conformation from the ideal boat form (torsion angles 0, 60, -60, 0, 60, -60 ° in cyclic order; Bucourt & Hainaut, 1965) is greater than that observed in previously determined structures of cyclotrisilazanes (Adamson & Daly, 1970;Clegg, Noltemeyer, Sheldrick & Vater, 1981), to the extent of approximating more closely to the twist conformation (33.1, 33.1, -70.6, 33.1, 33.1, -70.6°).
